Ceramics

This series of vases was inspired by my love of nature and fascination with organic forms – trees in particular. I aimed to convey the energy and movement found in living forms. Utilizing the yielding nature of clay, I was able to create many natural folds, allowing each new curve to dictate my next step ,until each vase felt harmonious. All were carefully hand sculpted from a rolled out slab of earthenware clay. Once dry, they were high fired and glazed in various combination of colored glazes.
